Practice question
Question
Which is the amino acid among the following that can occupy positions in the Ramachandran map that are disallowed for other 19 amino acids, but allowed for D-amino acids?
Explanation
In biochemistry, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure dictates that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Therefore Gly is correct as it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
